Scaler Academy Review

Scaler Academy Learner, Anshul Jain shares her learning experience with us: "During my BTech and MTech years at Delhi’s Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology (BPIT) and Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) respectively, I particularly enjoyed working on problems and learning more about Data Structures and Algorithms. In fact, I have been extremely interested in DS and Algo since high school. However, as much as I enjoyed my classes in college, I always felt the syllabus was too theoretical and that the teaching could have been more industry-specific. Later, while working at CaaStle in my first job as a front-end developer, I saw an ad for Scaler on Facebook and I immediately registered for the program. I used to attend DS and Algo coaching classes in college as well, hence, I knew that additional training would really hone my skills. In addition to DS and Algo training, I wanted to learn more about System Design as well at Scaler Academy. Check out the complete Review

It's so heartening to witness the growth and success of our Scaler's, here's one such happy review, "Like most software engineers, I was intrigued by the video games, and chose science without a second thought. Despite having excellent grades, the lack of practical application meant I had no programming skills when I left college. When I came across Scaler Academy by  InterviewBit , the demo classes made me realise what a well structured syllabi could do for me. Kshitij Mishra 's thorough and methodical style of teaching taught me how to identify and tackle any kind of question. He gave great insights that helped us understand how to express ourselves well during interviews. Tarun Malhotra 's system design classes were critical for my effective understanding of every concept. This platform was my turning point because people with real life experience were instructing us. If there is anything my journey has taught me, it is to persevere and not give up, no matte

"When it comes to coding education in colleges beyond the best of tier-I institutions, things have been known to be dismal. This was the problem statement that Scaler by InterviewBit took up when it was launched a couple of years ago. Already a fairly popular interview preparation platform for coders by then, the founders Anshuman Singh and Abhimanyu Saxena touched upon the idea of taking it a step further when they realized the massive gap that existed between industry requirements and college education." Now becoming a household name in the Edtech industry with a solid base of success stories behind it, read the complete review of Scaler Academy by tech story and learn how it has thrived among top online coding platforms.

From being in an uncertain territory to reaching certainty in coding , Scaler Suryakant Sharma shares his journey with us, "When I joined Scaler Academy, my coding profile was decent, and I felt confident about the questions I knew. But my first mock interview was an eye-opener - I realized I was underprepared, and still had a lot to learn. I owe it to my mentor and my Teaching Assistant,  Ravi Raushan  Sir, who inspired me to not get discouraged, and work harder. I spoke to my instructors at Scaler Academy. They trusted my potential and asked me to work on my skills so that I could land at a much better place. Read his complete review: Link I kept interacting with my coordinator,  Krupali Dudhat  Ma’am, and sent emails to Ajay Sir, constantly seeking guidance and support. They were always patient with me and calmly dealt with my fears and uncertainty. Two months later, I cleared the interviews and landed a job with  Zeta India , one of the portfolio companies of the  Directi  gr

It fills us with pride to watch our Scaler's achieving milestones in their life and choose to give back to the community by providing a helping hand to fellow coders with their mentorship. Here's one such inspiring journey of our Scaler, Sandeep Sinha Mahapatra, "There was no match for the content that Scaler Academy  provided be it the structure, the topics, the questions. Another thing that really impressed me was the support and the guidance every person at Scaler gave to us. I could reach out to anyone at any point in time, and they would always help me with my queries. I am incredibly grateful to my mentor,  Aniruddha Mukherjee  (ex -  Microsoft   ) from  ServiceNow , for being everything that I wanted in my mentor. He helped me grow not just academically and professionally, but personally as well. Read his Complete Story: Link In my 3 months at Scaler Academy, I learned more than I could have imagined.

We are happy to be sharing the journey of our Scaler Mithlesh Kumar who has recently bagged a job role as an upcoming SDE at PhonePe. Here's what he had to say about his experience with Scaler Academy... "The first thing I noticed was the course - it was very well structured and expansive. Throughout my academic life, I had memorized everything by rote, but I knew this strategy wouldn’t help me succeed or grow in life. So the first few months at Scaler were very important for me as I understood the basics thoroughly. The highly qualified mentors, the teaching assistants, the success managers - everyone was there to help us reach our full potential. To me, Scaler always felt like a family. I could reach anyone at any time and would always receive help. They never turned me away, no matter what time of the day it was. The Mentorship pillar was one of the highlights of the course. Every fortnight, I would have one-on-one sessions with my mentor,  Ashutosh Agrawal  from  Visa . H

Our Scaler Mentees are an integral part of our coding community and it gives us great pride to be able to see them grow into a better version of themselves. Here is what our Scaler Shubham Verma had to share about his experience with us, "I came to know about Scaler Academy when I was in the final semester. I have some decent knowledge of DS&Algo but that was not enough to crack top tech giants interviews. I joined it and as the name suggests Scaler Academy help me scale my skillset level by level. The course is very well designed in sections such that it will prepare you interviews in the first 3–4 months of the course. It’s obvious that software engineering is not all about DS&Algo, so in the next 2–3 months you will be trained on different Backend/Frontend technologies as per your choice. So overall this 6-month course not only makes you good at interviews but also gives you your first hand-on experience in the software engineering field. I was persuing this  course  al

Coming from a lower-middle-class family in Patna, Scaler Kumar Saurav has worked his way up through alot of hardships. His parents, father who owns a departmental store and mum - a homemaker worked hard to provide him the best education possible.

We as a community at Scaler Academy have always believed in providing every software engineer a level playing field and it makes us feel immensely proud of our Scaler mentees like Saurav who help us with our mission. Here is his journey in his very own words... "I come from humble backgrounds. My parents run a vegetable/general store shop, and I have two elder brothers. But I am the only fortunate one in the family whom my parents could afford to send to college. My family has supported me a lot over the years. Initially, I wasn’t even sure which branch would be best for me, so I ended up choosing mechanical, but I switched to Computer Science soon after.  I decided to pursue Scaler Academy, not only were they going to help me get referrals at companies that offered much better packages but also helped me better my programming skills.  The instructors and lecturers were very knowledgeable and kept us engaged - bettering our understanding of the concepts while also motivati
